TX LAND VOUCHER
Written: August 8, 1881
Recorded: January 15, 1882
Robert Hendley McCann, who served in Co. "A" of 8th Texas Calvery (Terry's
Rangers) under Gen. Nathan B. Forrest in the Confederate army from Sept 1864
until the end of the war, is entitled to a Land Grant from the State of Texas
enacted by an Act of April 9, 1881 for 1,280 acres of land. (1) citizen of
Texas (2)" R.H. McCann was permanetely disabled so as to seriously impair his
ability to perform bodily labor or earn a living for himself and family." (3)

agreeded to by Commissioners ; M.G. Rainey, Willis King, Co. Judge, P.B.
Gilliland, Ed Y. Tersal. ~ witnessed by F.M. Blankenship ~ W.D. Paden CCMC. ~
W.B. Wortham, State Treasurer.
Additional Comments:
Note: there is no record that this Land Voucher was ever cashed in for land.
As in many cases- most were sold for as little as $5.00 or up to as much as
$250.00 ~ those used were probably used in the unsettled lands in West Texas
because most of the East & South Texas land was taken.
